OH YES THANK YOU. I already have my favourite Dutch grammar site bookmarked, but I hadn't found a good English one yet. This is great! I love it! I do have the Oxford English Dictionary and the Collins Cobuild, but you know... Big books. Faaaar away in the bookcase.

I think I get your OCD. I used to be so careful about posting in English on the Internet, but it took so much time to proofread that I tried to shed the habit. It still makes me feel very uneasy when I remark errors afterwards though. It's annoying, because I write Dutch pretty flawlessly without having to put thought into it. I have a hard time accepting I'll never write/speak my other languages like I do my own, which is obviously very irrational of me.
